In this thesis, we are interested in designing schedulers for hybrid systems. We consider two specific subclasses of hybrid systems, real-time systems where tasks are competing for the access to common resources, and sampled switched systems where a choice has to be made on dynamics of the system to reach goals. Scheduling consists in defining the order in which the tasks will be run on the processors in order to complete all the tasks before a given deadline. In the first part of this thesis, we are interested in the scheduling of periodic tasks on multiprocessor architectures. We are especially interested in the robustness of schedulers, i.e., to prove that some values of the system parameters can be modified, and until what value they can be extended while preserving the scheduling order and meeting the deadlines. The Inverse Method can be used to prove the robustness of parametric timed systems. In this thesis, we introduce a state space reduction technique which allows us to treat challenging case studies such as one provided by Astrium EADS for the launcher Ariane 6. We also present how an extension of the Inverse Method, the Behavioral Cartography, can solve the problem of schedulability, i.e., finding the area in the parametric space in which there exists a scheduler that satisfies all the deadlines. We compare this approach to an analytic method to illustrate the interest of our approach In the second part of this thesis, we are interested in the control of affine switched systems. These systems are governed by a finite family of affine differential equations. At each time step, a controller can choose which dynamics will govern the system for the next time step. Controlling in this sense can be seen as a scheduling on the order of dynamics the system will have to use. The objective for the controller can be to make the system stay in a given area of the state space (stability) or to reach a given region of the state space (reachability). In this thesis, we propose a novel approach that computes a scheduler where the strategy is uniform for dense subsets of the state space. Moreover, our approach only uses forward computation, which is better suited than backward computation for contractive systems. We show that our designed controllers, systems evolve to a limit cyclic behavior. We apply our method to several case studies from the literature and on a real-life prototype of a multilevel voltage converter. Moreover, we show that our approach can be extended to systems with perturbations and non-linear dynamics.
